Running as
access point
, you can further configure the following settings:
Parameter WLAN Management
Operation type Specifies the desired IEEE 802.11 operation mode
Radio band Selects the radio band to be used for connections, depending
on your module it could be 2.4 or 5 GHz
Bandwidth Specify the channel bandwidth operation mode
Channel Specifies the channel to be used
Available operation modes are:
Standard Frequencies Bandwidth Data Rate
802.11a 5 GHz 20 MHz 54 Mbit/s
802.11b 2.4 GHz 20 MHz 11 Mbit/s
802.11g 2.4 GHz 20 MHz 54 Mbit/s
802.11n 2.4/5 GHz 20/40 MHz 300 Mbit/s
802.11ac 5 GHz 20/40/80 MHz 866.7 Mbit/s
Table 5.18.: IEEE 802.11 Network Standards
Note:
NetModule Routers with 802.11n and 802.11ac support 2x2 MIMO
Prior to setting up an access point, it is always a good idea to run a network scan for
getting a list of neighboring WLAN networks and then choose the less interfering channel.
Please note that two adequate channels are required for getting good throughputs with
802.11n and a bandwidth of 40 MHz.
Running in
managed mode
, the access-point can be controlled over CAPWAP (RFC
5415). It establishes a layer-2 tunneling protocol to encrypt transmission of user data
from connected stations. You can configure the following settings:
Parameter WLAN Management
Primary Access Con-
troller
Specifies the primary access controller
Secondary Access Con-
troller Specifies the secondary access controller
